SPIROL® Spacers and Tubular Products are formed into butted tubes from cold rolled strip. A typical application for a tubular Spacer is to separate two components in an assembly joined by a bolt, rivet or rod passed through the inside diameter of the Spacer. The inside diameter of the Spacer is designed for a clearance fit over the bolt.
Tubular Spacers are used as standoffs, distance bushings, sleeves, axles, and pins. They replace more expensive spacing options of cut-off tubing, tubes, ferrules, grommets and turned parts. SPIROL's standard range of roll formed tubular Spacers includes both metric and inch specifications in a variety of diameters and lengths.
SPIROL Series SP150 Heavy Wall Spacers have greater compression strength and additional bearing surface. The additional bearing surface is often used to prevent witness marks or indenting when the Spacer is clamped between soft materials. SP150 Heavy Wall Spacers are available in metric and inch sizes in sizes ranging from 3mm to 16mm / #4 to .750" in low carbon steel with ArmorGalv® finish. Additional materials and finishes are available upon request.
